The homeowner told police the two men said they were police and claimed they were at the home to serve a warrant.

[The homeowner] became suspicious, because, you know, they have a ring camera too, and the suspects were saying they had a warrant, but it was just two people and they’re masked up and no police cars, no lights or anything like that," said Lt. Khan with HPD.

At some point, police said the men shot at the homeowner through the door, prompting the homeowner to return fire.

The homeowner was not hurt in the gunfire, but the two men were both hit and pronounced dead at the scene.

    Lies. ACAB.

    This is gaslighting at this point. We all see the pigs with masks. We’ve all seen plainclothes officers in undercover cars make traffic stops.

      The ones in CT were using fucking Subaru Crosstreks for unmarked cars.

      I guess “buy American” is less important than “sneak up on future brutality victims”.

        In many states, cops drive cars stolen confiscated from suspects in drug-related arrests.

      Not disagreeing with ACAB but this particular guy was speaking on behalf of the Houston PD, saying they don’t wear ski masks. The two guys who got shot could be from any number of organizations.

        And all are suitable candidates for shoot and let the courts settle it later.
